Wisdom Teeth Removal

[WildHearted]

Well, I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed this morning..

In the scheme of things, I think I'm doing okay and the procedure went fairly well.

I'm on vicodin which really hasn't done much other than make me sleepy (and I'm sure ease some pain). My cheeks are feeling pretty tight and swollen, and it took FOREVER for the bleeding to stop (I had gauze stuffed in my mouth until like 8 pm). So I didn't really eat much at all today because I just had no appetite... I mostly slept.

Does anyone have any advice for some different things to eat? I basically have applesauce, yogurt, pudding, and jello. I have a feeling I'm going to get really sick of that really soon.

Or just any advice in general, like what not to do and what helps? I know it's a big no-no to use straws...
